Yes, but it already exists today (and this patch doesn't change that):
521376741b2c2 "PCI/ATS: Only enable ATS for trusted devices"

IMHO any external device trying to send ATS traffic despite having ATS
disabled should count as a bad intent. And this patch is trying to
plug that loophole, by blocking the AT traffic from devices that we do
not expect to see AT from anyway.

Do you see any case where this is not true?

Yes, from spec "Address Translation Services" Rev 1.1:
"...a device that supports ATS need not support PRI, but PRI is
dependent on ATS’s capabilities."
(So no ATS = No PRI).

I assume what is being referred to, is an escape hatch to enable ATS
on certain given "external-facing" ports (and devices downstream on
that port). Do we really think a *per-port* control for ATS may be
needed? I can add if there is consensus about this.

Currently:

pci.noats => No ATS on all PCI devices.
(Absense of pci.noats): ATS on all PCI devices, EXCEPT external devices.

I can look to add another parameter that is synonymous to
"trust-external-pci-devices" that can keep ATS enabled on external
ports as well. I think this is better than an allow-list of only
certain ports, because most likely an admin will trust all its
external ports, or not. Also, we can add this global override and may
be add a more granular control later, if and when really needed.

Thanks,

Rajat
